I;m frm Poland. I've read somewhere that Finland is the only European country which can do that. But I'm not sure if it's true and I guess none of you guys is either. if anyone knows something, please reply or contact me on email! I'm in trouble and dont want to stay here in Poland, when homosexuals are HIGHLY untolerated..

I'm from Finland and let me assure you, we don't have aylums for sexual minorities! It's true that according the law homosexuality was a disease but thank god they deleted that more than 20 years ago.Same-sex couple can register their partnerships here.
I seriosly hope there is nowhere asylums for homosexuals! That's awful! Homosexuality is NOT a disesase!

Conditions for asylum are established by, and are different for, each country. I don't know of any single source for information, but if you think a country might be able to help you, I would suggest you contact their embassy, or local consolate. Here is the information for Finland: Finland Embassy In Washington, D.C. 3301 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington DC 20008 Telephone: (202) 298-5800 Fax: (202) 298-6030

The United States might, i don't know for sure. Check out the website of Amnesty International for some contact addresses and phone numbers. They may be able to help you.

You'd have to come from a country that you can prove your sexuality becoming public knowledge would be a threat to your life or have you unjustly prosecuted.(Like say, Iraq or Iran)

if you are a US citizen, it is doubtful you will find any country to grant you political asylum...
Orpheus love, you misunderstood...she is looking for information regarding political asylum based on sexual orientation.
